My passcode lock is missing under settings-general tab
Under my settings tab, then general tab I do not have a passcode Lock button? I have installed the 5.1.1 update and it's still not showing up....what do I do....any help is greatly appreciated.
I hate to put the thought in your head, if my guess is not correct, but I'm thinking that you may have gotten a demo somehow.
There is a way that stores can remove the settings from their demo models and it makes sense when you think about it. If the passocde lock setting was in place on store demos models, someone could lock the device with a passocde and the store would have to restore the iPad every night or ten time s day for that matter. The same thing applies to having the reset setting. It could create a mess for the store if these settings were accessible to customers browsing through the store.
Yes - I would certainly take it back, show then the settings and ask them what the heck is going on.

Profile option missing from Settings General
I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen. I just notice that "Profile" option under Settings > General is missing. How do I add this?
I had this problem too.I know it says the problem had been solved,but it didn't help me in any way with my problem.For the people who really look for this problem i have the answer.
THERE IS NO PROFILE.THE ENROLLMENT IS JUST A COOKIE!!!!!!!!!
The profile is deleted by it's self ,is just another way to add a cookie ,for the website or app to recognize your device.
So don't search for anything.If you want to delete it go to Safari>Clear Cookies. -
This is driving me nuts. I need to "rent" some flicks for a trip, but my iPad (64GB) tells me I have insufficient memory. Checking under Settings/General/Usage, I find 3GB free. I hook it up to my computer (iTunes) and clear out pretty much everything (audio, video, extra apps, etc) and iTunes then tells me I have 30GB available. Yes, I hit apply and the darn thing synches just fine. Disconnect and look back at the iPad, and viola - only 3GB available. ARRRRGGGHHHH!
Sounds like you should restore your iPad. For one thing, that will bring it up to current iOS rev (6.1.2). For another, that should clean out any junk and further make sure the two numbers you're referring to agree.
By the way, a viola is a musical instrument in the violin family. The word you're looking for is voila -
after upgrading to IOS 5.1 I no longer can see Verizon at the top of my Iphone and under settings>general>Network>says Not Available Why is this? Did the upgrade cause this?
steveSee this tip --> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it. -

I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link. This is probably a frequently asked question, so I'm sorry but I'm new to this.
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
You have iOS 4... See Here...

OR...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

We have an Apple e TV 1st generation. We want to use AirPlay. When we go to Software Update, under settings, general, we get this message - There is no update available. Apple TV can't check right now. Try again later
The wiFi is connected and working
Please help?Also the 1st gen device was discontinued awhile ago, since it runs on a different OS compared to the newer models it hasn't received any updates for 3 or 4 years now. There would be no update to check for.

How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if the Software button is non-existent?
You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

i forgot my restrictions passcode for my ipad. under settings i went to "erase all content and settings" but it needs the passcode. how do i restart my ipad so it can go back to normal? i dont care about losing everything on it
Try and force the iPad Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
